EX3: Nolan's Hardware Store prepared the following analysis of cost of goods
sold for the previous three years:
2018 2019 2020
Beginning inventory 1/1 $40,000 $18,000 $25,000
Cost of goods purchased 50,000 55,000 70,000
Cost of goods available for 90,000 73,000 95,000
sale
Ending inventory 12/31 18,000 25,000 40,000
Cost of goods sold 72,000 48,000 55,000
Net income for the years 2018, 2019, and 2020 was &70,000; $60,000; and
$55,000 respectively. Since net income was consistently declining, Mr. Nolan
hired a new accountant to investigate the cause(s) for the declines. The
accountant determined the following:
1. Purchases of $25,000 were not recorded in 2018.
2. The 2018 December 31 inventory should have been $24,000.
3. The 2019 ending inventory included inventory costing $5,000 that was
purchased FOB destination and in transit at year end.
4. The 2020 ending inventory did not include goods costing $4,000 that
were shipped on December 29 to Sampson Plumbing Company, FOB
shipping point. The goods were still in transit at the end of the year.
